But how can we say we support the Palestinians when all our governments are actively helping the Zionists facilitate genocide? To date, no Western nation has taken meaningful action. Some, like Canada, have recently offered lip service, but only because they, like others, have suddenly realized their leaders may be held legally accountable.

Under the 1948 Genocide Convention, which predates but overlaps with the Rome Statute, all signatories have a binding legal obligation not only to punish genocide but to actively prevent it. In its 2007 ruling on Bosnia v. Serbia, the International Court of Justice made it clear: States can be held responsible for failing to prevent genocide. The threshold is high, but it is not abstract: it must be shown that a state knew or should have known about the risk of genocide and had the capacity to act meaningfully to stop it.

By that standard, Canada, like many others looks deeply complicit.

The evidence of an ongoing genocide is overwhelming. Yet no Western country has sanctioned the Zionist regime. Some some non-Western nations have begun barring Israeli visitors, because the Zionists, having once survived genocide, now appear addicted to belligerency. So emboldened, they no longer even conceal their supremacist arrogance and disrespect for others nations laws and customs., likely a product of the inherited exceptionalism mentally, when combined with being divinely chosen, its painful to watch such videos, of so many filled with such cruelty.

It would be a dark irony but beautifully poetic justice , if soon Israelis found themselves prisoners of their own Zionist state.

The word, the nation, the name. Israel needs to be disbanded. It was a bad idea from the start. Now it simply represents pure unadulterated evil. The blood of the innocent does not wash off. No wonder so many IDF soldiers are committing suicide. They can't live with themself.

It is a time of profound grief, but also a terrifying one, because the presence of truth is with us.

All men of conscience will be hunted by it.

It is simply too immense to conceal.

It will stare back at us every time we see our reflection.

Its questions will echo in corner of our minds for generations.

Why did you not speak?

Why did you turn away?

Why did you do nothing?

Why was there truly no room for a Palestinian flag beside the Ukrainian one?

Double shame on you if you dare call it a war.

Now that we have helped the Zionists defend themselves

By making two million people homeless , where is the justice

Is it under the ruble of hospital and Universities, and Kindergartens

In the lifeless bodies of children

Is the desperation of the starving

If now we wake from our blind rage and see the nightmare we unleashed

How will we give the Palestinians justice ?

Should we bombard the Zionists and make them homeless in return?

Should we expel them from their homes and reallocate them to Palestinians?

Even if we did, what Palestinian could find rest in beds where Zionists once dreamed wantonly of genocide.

We all just have to do what we can from where we are with what we have, right? I live in a small city so can attend protests, share on sm, donate when I can, support my people, wear my keffiyeh, shirts and flag, write letters, and support any DA possible.

What I will state here probably will not make me popular and might even unleash your fury upon me, if you don't ban me outright. Still, I have to keep to my principles.

Hamas has signed a ceasefire deal with the genocidal apartheid sewer that it, Hamas, is not happy with. Already the original "breach" of the wall on 7 Oct. was aided by "israeli" military personnel that had opened a gate in the wall to let Hamas/Hamas-linked fighters through.

"israeli" soldiers took 7 hours (!!!) to arrive on the scene – oops, I forgot, the sewer is such a big "country" that it takes a long time to get from A to B.

And that security wall is the best defended and surveilled wall in the world, with automatic alarms going off even if the entire crew has fallen asleep. Heck, even if a cockroach comes too close it sets of alarms.

Later on, when the siege was in full swing we see Hamas in brand new uniforms parading "israeli" hostages. I'll keep this list short.

Now Hamas signs a 60-day ceasefire deal, which will give the Talmudic Nazis breathing space and allow them to regroup and redeploy, only to restart the relentless bombing of hospitals, school, tent camps, etc. to "exterminate" Hamas. What a sick, cynical joke. And Hamas plays along nicely and is allowed to kill "israeli" rats posing as soldiers, just to keep the plebs off balance. What a show, well done Hamas.

So, tell me please what Hamas has achieved for the Gazans? Sweet F.A. So, what do I conclude from all this? I hate to say it but I conclude only 1 thing: Hamas is in bed with the sewer, has been from 7 Oct., and even before to ensure a smooth operation. All the Hamas "leadership" has resided comfortably in Qatar while counting their $$$ in their bank accounts in Switzerland or the Virgin Island or wherever – billionaires need a quiet place to count the money piles.

Whether it is Hamas or Fatah, the Palestinian "leadership" has screwed the Palestinian people completely, for decades, in cahoots with the "free and democratic" West. I am sickened by it.

While I can't "like" it, I can appreciate your take.

I've been wondering why so little (no?) attention has been given to the 2018 "Great March of Return," when Palestinian civil dissidents/society finally got fed up and revolted. The hermetically sealed gate of Gaza was summarily (hundreds of martyrs over an 18-or-so months of sniper and other fire) laid to rest in that 2018. To me, that was a prime trigger for (official) Hamas retaliation -- accompanied by the Al Aqsa Mosque's desecrations in a very close time frame -- and of course the literal myriads of Colonial Zionist atrocities, large and small, for near-100 years of building, ever building, resentment.

What say you?

I don't believe there ever was a real Hamas retaliation. Yes, Hamas was allowed to do certain things in order to keep up appearances, just like in all the previous shows it staged with its paymaster, the genocidal apartheid sewer.

But Hamas was never going to bite off the hand that fed it.

I don't think Hamas ever had a "hand" to "bite off." Recall in 2006 when 42 or so Hamas duly elected legislators were jailed for its/their presumption toward taking part in the Carter Center's approbation of free and fair (Fatah and Hamas) elections? USrael couldn't allow that to happen. In large part, it all comes down to Colonial Zionist/Genocidal "divide and conquer" mendacity....

P.s. I happen to believe that (Zioassassinated, of course) Dr. Ismail Haniyeh is (now was) a great statesman and human being but he never got the chance to prove it.

> I don't think Hamas ever had a "hand" to "bite off."

I beg to differ. The sewer enabled the creation of Hamas in the 1st place so as divide Palestinian society. The sewer subsequently financed Hamas to varying degrees.

From https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/20/benjamin-netanyahu-hamas-israel-prime-minister

In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues:

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."

From https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/11/08/articles-on-netanyahus-support-of-hamas-before-october-7-and-on-israeli-women-soldiers-warnings-of-a-possible-hamas-attack-being-ignored/

For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip — money that helped prop up the Hamas government there.” Furthermore, and of significance, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had **encouraged them**.” (emphasis added) These payments came to “billions of dollars over roughly a decade.” Additionally, the payments, “ostensibly a secret” were “widely known and discussed in the news media for years”.

“**Even as the Israeli military obtained battle plans for a Hamas invasion** and analysts observed significant terrorism exercises just over the border in Gaza, **the payments continued**.” (emphasis added)

The Qatari money flows were confirmed in a Times of Israel (TOI) article https://www.timesofisrael.com/time-fact-checks-netanyahu-interview-countering-his-denial-of-bankrolling-hamas/

Time [Magazine] said Qatar began funneling money to Hamas in 2007, during the term of Netanyahu’s predecessor Ehud Olmert. However, Olmert did not directly facilitate the funds, as opposed to Netanyahu, Time said.

There is another TOI article entitled “For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces.”

We can agree to disagree, at least in general terms. For Sharon, Netanyahu et al, it all came back to the "divide-conquer" fixation. I recall that Hamas came into being in the mid-80s (while based in Lebanon?) purely because the PLO/Fatah didn't take care of its Palestinian citizens' needs. In a similar way, Qatar -- which I think had some genuine humanitarian instincts -- was "permitted" to feed and clothe the Gazans BECAUSE ZIOISRAEL WAS RESPONSIBLE, UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW AS THE BELLIGERENT OCCUPYING POWER, TO TAKE CARE OF THE HUMANITARIAN AND SOCIAL (RELIGIOUS, CULTURAL, ETC.) NEEDS OF THE OCCUPIED POPULATION. Hell, yes: the Zios were damned glad to shed themselves of the fiscal burden so that they could divert themselves to military weapons and IOF goons, "urban warfare," extreme deprivation et al of those hapless souls, treating Gazans like "cockroaches scurrying in a bottle" (that 1983 Ziogeneral who so brayed).

I think I've had it here -- 81 yo and burned out (effectively genocided on a personal level) -- and my dementia looms apace. Cheers. Viva Palestine!--Hamas, Gaza, the illegally occupied West Bank...ALL of Palestine! (In fact, I renewed a case personally pushed by me recently that Gaza and the WB SHOULD NOT/NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BY THE COLONIAL ZIOS TO BIFURCATE IT...IT IS ONE ENTITY...YET ANOTHER MEANS OF DIVIDE-CONQUER...AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THE ZIOS "NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLOIT AN OPPORTUNITY.")

Yes its sickening, its illogical, its atrocious, its criminal, its absorb, but it is what is because no other state except Yemen and Lebanon have dared to interleave on behalf of the Palestinians..

The Palestinians starving , with a gun pointed at their head and a bomber jet overhead reluctantly sign whatever deal keeps them alive a bit longer,

The most sickening aspect of all this , in my opinion is not what The Zionists are doing , its their sponsors, they enabled it, condoned it, supplied the arms , money and smoke screens to let it happen. and the only now some are paying lip service saying the Zionists have "gone too far", but only because some western leaders have woken up to the fact that they themselves will be charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity.

My point is that the Palestinian people have not only been screwed by the Western colonizers (that includes the Talmudic Nazis), but by their own leadership too.

They have been hoodwinked by that leadership, and people don't see it.

Perhaps some of the Hamas leaders in exile have grown estranged from the daily tragedy in Gaza, but I do not believe that Hamas hoodwinked the people of Gaza.

The emergence of Hamas was inevitable, perhaps even welcomed by the Zionist regime as a convenient enemy. But the fighters in Gaza, in my view, are heroes.

Ask yourself: what would become of any of us if we were born into an open-air prison? What kind of mental state would we inherit? What kind of life would we live if our entire world were a narrow strip of land under constant siege by our oppressors? When your days are filled with attending funerals of friends, neighbors, relatives, all the prey of the Zionists’ who routine mow your people, what future could you even imagine? Will you one day be arrested , taken as teenager to a Zionists prison , abused, beaten for years without trail, r perhaps let out one day, only to emerge into a world of ruble and all those you knew, all your family gone, what would be your goal in life ?

There is blame enough to go around. But I believe the United States and the United Kingdom bear the greatest responsibility. For a regime so obsessed with securing its future, Israel may in fact have sealed its fate. Sooner or later, its illegal state will fade into memory, a tragic chapter in human history best left behind.

Yes, perhaps Hamas underestimated the brutality their actions would unleash. But what choice did they have? Live a life waiting to be killed one day by a rookie Zionist conscript, or try to make a difference, even if it sets your world on fire?

I am not blaming Hamas on the principle of armed struggle, it is their right as enshrined in various UN resolutions, it is international law.

What I reproach Hamas is to play along with the Talmudic Nazi agenda, the same way that Hezbollah under its new "leader" has done. Have we heard anything more from Hezbollah since he was appointed? He agreed to a ceasefire, but has the genocidal apartheid sewer stopped its aggression? Has it withdrawn from Lebanon?

The answer to those questions is NO. Similarly, Hamas is agreeing to a 60-day ceasefire: what do you think the sewer is going to do during that time? Have the "leadership" go on an extended holiday?

Has the sewer ever honored any of its agreements since it was created illegally in 1948?

Yes, Yahya Sinwar may have been an honorable guy who was in the trenches with his people. But the rest of the Hamas elite: living the good, safe, comfortable life in Qatar.

I tell ya, Hamas is in bed with the sewer.

Its an old adage but it rings true all the time , "Power Corrupts". I believe we are of a similar view on much, but because there are many brave honorable fighters in Gaza fighting for their freedom, I simply can not accept your last statement. The failing of our species when we obtain positions of power and amass great wealth is sadly systemic all over the planet, I suspect its part of our DNA, as if our inherent need to blindly follow terrible leaders.

I have no doubt that the fighters in the trenches are sincere, like most common soldiers in regular armies. And like most soldiers in regular armies, the fighters are used like pieces on a chessboard.

The top leadership of regular armies are in a category of their own: sometimes they are 1 with their men, often/mostly they regard their men as cannon fodder.

And that is exactly how it is with the Hamas top leadership. They fed their fighters a narrative to keep them motivated, innovative and angry. But what happens behind the scenes is a different story, as is proven by the lousy agreement they have signed up to, the umpteenth time they accept for their fighters and the common people living in and under the rubble to be screwed and slaughtered.

I repeat: Hamas is in bed with the sewer.

The cruelty, barbarity and sheer evil of the suicidal Israelis will never be forgotten. When they are hunted down and killed like mad dogs they still won’t understand why. They are so brain dead, so emotionally numb, so unaware and intellectually as well as spiritually bankrupt (which shouldn’t surprise given their rejection of the essence and humanity of Judaism) that they’ll think that their deaths will be on account of “anti-Semitism”.
